From the Paper:

"It is necessary to level the playing field and place dependence on rules that are fair and treatment that is equitable. The Charter School has a great opportunity to use new technologies in the educational process. Charter schools must "maintain their relevance" and may do so by continuing to "operate on the cutting edge." Productivity is another area for focus in Charter Schools because "to survive and prosper, business must continually improve their processes to become more efficient." To this end the vision of the Charter School will likely need alteration as the vision of the Charter School "will be felt not only in the communities directly affected by it but in the power of the ideas undergirding it to pervade the entire education system."
